This will be accomplished by combining mountaintop observations at Storm Peak Laboratory and the airborne National Science Foundation-supported Colorado Airborne Multi-Phase Cloud Study campaign with collocated measurements from the second ARM Mobile Facility (AMF2). We describe in this document the operational plans and motivating science for this experiment, which includes deployment of AMF2 to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The intensive STORMVEX field phase will begin nominally on 1 November 2010 and extend to approximately early April 2011. The science objectives of STORMVEX include: Science Objective 1: Collect a large correlative data set of remote sensing observations and direct in situ measurements in liquid, ice, mixed-phase, and precipitating cloud systems for analysis of cloud and precipitation retrievals. Science Objective 2: Document the properties of aerosols, both natural and anthropogenic, in cloud and precipitation processes in a wintertime, mountainous environment. Science Objective 3: Document the role of complex terrain on the physical processes that generate clouds and precipitation. STORMVEX will be based in the town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and the adjoining Routt National Forest that is managed by the Steamboat Ski and Resort Corporation. The principal measurement site will be: 1. Storm Peak Lab, where in situ aerosol, cloud, and precipitation properties will be collected. 2. Thunderhead Lodge, where remote sensing elements of AMF2 will be located. 3. Christie Peak, where the AMF2 Aerosol Observing System will be housed. 4. Valley Floor, where guest instruments and additional elements of AMF2 will be located. In addition, airborne in situ and remote sensing measurements will be provided by the CAMPS campaign that will include the 100 hours of research flight time by the University of Wyoming King Air from roughly early January through February 2011. iii J Mace, September 2010, DOE/SC-ARM-10-021 Acronyms and Abbreviations AERI Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer AMF2 ARM Mobile Facility AMF2-AOS ARM Mobile Facility Aerosol Observing System AOS Aerosol Observing System ARM Atmospheric Radiation Measurement ARM Climate Research Facility ARM Facility BBSS balloon-borne sounding system BC black carbon CAMPS Colorado Airborne Multi-Phase Cloud Study CCN cloud condensation nuclei CLH closed-path laser hygrometer CPC condensation particle counter DMT Droplet Measurement Technologies, Inc.

The narrative of historic activities serves as a guide and yardstick regarding what physical evidence of these activities—historic sites, structures, ruins and objects—are known or suspected to be present on the land, and evaluation of what their historical significance may be. Such information is essential in making a wide variety of land management decisions effecting historic cultural resources. Objectives: As a basic cultural resource inventory and evaluation tool, the narrative and initial inventory of known historic resources will serve a variety of objectives: 1. Provide information for basic Bureau planning docu¬ ments and land management decisions relating to cultural resources.

  • The Routt National Forest
    100 YEARS OF CONSERVATION AND PUBLIC SERVICE ON THE ROUTT NATIONAL FOREST The Early History of Forest Reserves and National Forests that formed the Routt National Forest by Mary Peterson, Forest Supervisor 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of conservation and public service for the Forest Service nationally! The Routt National Forest has also been the result of a long and colorful history in the last 100+ years! Over the next year, I’d like to share with you some of this great history of the Routt National Forest in a series of articles to celebrate our Centennial. The Routt National Forest is comprised of the dramatic and beautiful Park, Gore, Medicine Bow, Elkhead, and Flat Tops Mountain Ranges. Fortunately for us today, the beauty and resources of these mountain ranges were recognized by early conservation leaders and were set aside as forest reserves, national forests, and a national park. Over the last 100+ years, the current Routt National Forest experienced several boundary and name changes. Following is a brief reconstruction of those changes. The current Routt National Forest was produced from the entire Park Range Forest Reserve and portions of the Medicine Bow, Sierra Madre, and White River Plateau Forest Reserves, established respectively in 1905, 1902, 1906, and 1891. By an Act of Congress approved March 4, 1907, the forest reserves were renamed “national forests”, thus resulting in the creation of the Park Range, Medicine Bow, Sierra Madre, and White River National Forests. Portions of the current Routt National Forest contained portions of these four "early" national forests as well as portions of the Hayden, Colorado, and Arapaho National Forests, and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Yes, it’s been a great snow year for the Sawatch and Mosquito Ranges as explained by Eric Hunter, leader of these adventurous Pikes Peak Group trekkers. It was still cool and the snow relatively firm on this beautiful blue bird sky day, later warming into the 50’s thus softening the snow for this 8-mile jaunt and creating an anticipation for the cold beer and food later. The trail we hiked along is loaded with history and lots of current- day activity. In the 1880’s the Denver, Rio Grande & Western trains chugged along this roadbed to get over the pass and later through a tunnel.
